Oh...if your wondering about my strides...send me an email. I have a stash of "Avocado Pinwale Cord" now available but it is not listed in the shop yet. I LOVE THEM!!! They are just perfect for winter!!

Kel, this one's for you...I was never going to try and explain this over the phone!! xx

To the lovely lady at the pool that didn't mind me asking 20 questions and showing me 10 times how to do it...Thanks for your patience...your a gem!!

This is just the best thing ever!!! I was standing here reading your post wearing a scarf, frustrated at my lack of skill with the sarf tying!You bloody little rippa! I feel so cool!!!! really, it is the small things! Thanks champ!

So cool! Can't wait to try it out and I just love your community links as to how it came about, Leonie - just wonderful :) Kx

p.s. Reading Murder at Mansfield Park (Austen rip-off genre that seems to be sprouting from the woodworks at the moment) and very upset that my favourite heroine Fanny Price is the bad-gal... just not cricket really! Have you got to Mansfield Park yet in your Austen-odyssey?

Thanks heaps for that little tute Leonie (and thanks to pool lady). Since the weather turned, my scarf has been either pulling and almost strangling me or all puffy in my face if I knot the dangly bits. I think you've just given me the solution and a chic one at that...

Cuppa & Cake is about living in the Australian bush with an old sewing machine, a set of knitting sticks and a ancient combustion oven. Outside, I rustle amongst the flower beds, vegetable patch and orchid. I have loads of fun with our free range kids and many trials and tribulations to share. If you would like to pull up a seat and enjoy Cuppa & Cake, then stay, you're more than welcome.
